Commitment/Requirements: The agency requests a two hour per week commitment. A background check and certificate verifying completion of the “Protecting God’s Children” Safe Environment Education training (2-3 hours) are required prior to beginning service hours at the site. You must register online prior to the training. Training session dates and locations are listed at the following website: http://www.archmil.org/offices/safeguarding/Safeguarding-Events.htm. Complete the training and get your background check processed ASAP - you don't want to delay getting started with your service work. Your punctuality and consistent attendance are very important at this site.
